About this study

Official title: Pre and Post-operative Rectus Muscle Insertion Site Changing Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Strabismus Patients

•Background and study aims : The investigators conducted this study to evaluate the movement of extraocular muscle after strabismus surgery with non-invasive tool called AS-OCT.

  • Who can participate? patients who underwent typical lateral rectus recession surgery for correcting intermittent exotropia
  • What does the study involve? Volunteers will attend a clinic for four visits over six months. They will undergo AS-OCT at every visits during follow up period. AS-OCT is non-invasive test to evaluate operation site. The test only requires their cooperation when they undergo AS-OCT.
  • What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? This is non-invasive test for your postoperative follow up. Therefore, there will be no risks about this test.
  • Where is the study run from? Samsung Medical Center
  • When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for? From Feb 2014 to Dec 2014
Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is 1) to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of AS-OCT in the measurement of the lateral rectus (LR) insertion distance, 2)to investigate the longitudinal change of LR muscle insertion after strabismus surgery, and 3)to determine the effect of insertion movement on the angle of deviation after strabismus surgery. An AS-OCT scan of the LR muscle was performed every visits. Preoperative limbus-LR insertion distance was compared with intraoperative surgical caliper measurement of LR insertion using intraclass correlation coefficient analysis (ICC). Data on gender, age, degree of deviation (prism diopter), and spur-LR insertion distance using AS-OCT were collected at postoperative months 1,3 6.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intermittent Exotropia, run by Samsung Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change of limbus-muscle insertion distance measured with AS-OCT (time frame: baseline and 1.3.6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02383381, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2015.
